Microsoft Teams Spoke
Summarize
Summary of Microsoft Teams Spoke
The Microsoft Teams spoke integrates ServiceNow with Microsoft Teams, enabling automated posting of messages and ServiceNow record details (incident, problem, change) to Teams channels. This spoke is accessible through Integration Hub, which requires a subscription. Note that from the Yokohama release onward, this spoke is being prepared for deprecation—it will no longer be activated on new instances but will remain supported. The Microsoft Teams Graph Spoke is recommended for the latest integration experience.
